Seller Insight

I have always wanted to live in the countryside and this is my dream house. Surrounded by orchards and fields, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted and as soon as we walked inside, I knew we had to buy it,” says the owner.

“We’ve lived here for 10 years and have made changes during that time, including the addition of the new kitchen by Harvey Jones. It has a big pantry with masses of storage space, as well as quartz worktops and wooden cabinets which is handy as they can easily be painted and it’s certainly one of my favourite rooms. It has a bespoke storage cupboard for shoes and coats which has been a brilliant feature as we just come in and put it all away which keeps everything nice and tidy.”

“The location is wonderful as everything we need is easily accessible. We walk through the orchard opposite us and cross over the bridge from where it’s a 20-minute walk into West Malling High Street. It’s a thriving town with a fantastic array of amenities, including boutique shops, coffee places, pubs, restaurants, and nightlife. West Malling is such a lovely place and I still don’t take it for granted even after living here for so long.”

“We like to sit on the bench in the front garden and take in the late afternoon and evening sun as it moves round from the back of the house. I’d describe the rear garden as ‘old English country style’ which has been professionally planted for year-round colour and interest. It’s peaceful and quiet with only the sound of birdsong, so it’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining. The garden is full of wildlife and unusual birds, as well as a super friendly robin who sits in the car with us!”

“The property is perfect for entertaining as it has a great layout. We tend to host as we have plenty of space and facilities and we don’t have to worry about spillages thanks to wooden flooring. The ‘white living room’ is my happy place as it’s full of lovingly sourced antique furniture in keeping with the character of the property. Guests are always wowed by it and I adore it too. The double garage has been converted into a soundproofed studio where my husband can play music, watch TV, and work from home.”
